He says the negroes are good, hon

The ladies took an active part IN the
election, and in all the cities and
towns they were at the polls with
free lunches and personally solicited
voters. At every polling booth there
was lavish display of banners
among them being: Vote for God,

no defense save your ballot, 1.-The

NASHVILLE.

In Nashville and Davidson county
it was the most remarkable election
ever held, the feature of it was the
presence of the ladies at the polls
working and pleading with voters to
cast their ballots for the amendment.
Lunches were set at all polling places,
and whenever man presented him
self to vote anti he was surrounded
by the ladies, and if very stubborn
prayed for and RECALLED with sacred
songs. Such u sight was never be-
fore witnessed in Nashville. Tue
voters showed universal respect for
the ladies, and it made no doubt that
to their presence was due the cutting
down of the anti majority in this
county. In the sixth ward of this
city the ants rallied their forces early
and were voting in solid platoons of
from to SO. The prohibition men
were discouraged to the degree that
they deserted the polls; then the
ladies rallied, sent out for reinforce
ments of their sex. and bravely stood
in the breach pleading and praying
with tho voters till the polls closed.
Even those masculines who anticipat-
ed the participation in politics of
women were forced to admire the
bravery displayed by the ladies to-
day,
